[QUOTE="sfs, post: 75891764, member: 8727"] Okay, semi-pedantry here, but that's not right. A 4.1 sigma result means there is a 1 in 40,000 chance that if you made a measurement of g-2 and it really matched expectation, you'd get a result this far from the expected value. That's actually quite a different value than the probability that the observed result is nothing but a fluke. To calculate the latter, you have to know how likely genuine anomalies or, or equivalently, what the prior probability of a non-standard result is. [/QUOTE]
